Get a free couch, bed, mattress, dresser or other stuff

The new or gently used furniture items that are given away variety widely and help with one of many reasons. Some seniors or disabled people may be able to get free home delivery as well. The types of free furniture given away include, but are not limited to, the following. A family living in poverty that is getting established into a new home may be given items, including beds for a kid, a couch, dresser or kitchen tables. A formerly homeless person can be given beds, blankets, kitchen utensils as well as other needed furnishings for a new apartment. Women fleeing domestic violence are often given free furniture and tend to be major beneficiaries of the charities that pass out free furniture, as the household stuff given out will help them furnish a new, safe place to live. Low income senior citizens can often get free furniture items that focus on mobility issues , with free delivery as well as any needed assembly also offered. Free furniture voucher programs help families rebuilding from a disaster or emergency situation , such as a fire, flood, tornado, hurricane, or the like. Expectant low income parents , single moms or dads, and people with a new baby can get free furniture items for newborn, including free baby items . The items that may be provided near you are almost always donated from the public. They will be gently used, but tend to be in decent shape. There are even businesses that may donate to a furniture bank, such as local colleges, hotels, manufactures, universities, and even national furniture retailers. There are different ways to apply for furniture assistance. Some of the charities that run these services will require the applicant to have a referral from a social worker. Almost every single furniture bank will require proof of hardship, so applicants should bring details on their income, assets, savings, and monthly expenses. Priority is often given to homes with children, single moms fleeing domestic violence, or the formerly homeless. While everyone wants furniture given to them for free, many people may not qualify. Maybe their income is too high, or there is not a charity program in their area. In these cases they can shop for low cost second hand furniture at a local thrift store. There are thousands of these around the nation. Some of the larger providers include Goodwill, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army, and many others.

They may not only provide the items someone needs (whether it is a bed or a place to sit such as a chair), but the Venetians may even deliver goods to the elderly or sick.
